    Nope, never seen. I count myself a Chuck fan, if that is close (although I've only seen the first two seasons of it).

    What's Chuck about? Dexter is about a serial killer who hunts other killers and uses his job in forensics as a blood spatter analyst to cover up his crimes. He's a very lovable killer, but the creators still like to torment him too much sometimes. Seasons can be a bit hit or miss, but when they hit it's fantastic.

    Part of me thinks they should have only made the first Season, but the John Lithgow Season is pretty good.
    I thought the first two seasons were really great and very consistent, but should have been stretched out over more time, with the stuff from three as filler sub plots... Three and four were way too domestic, IMO, with some bad writing where the romantic relationships were concerned. The twist at the end of four was both well done and just plain evil, I'm so torn about it! But then it set up the fifth season which I think is my favorite so far! God damn it, Dexter is just such a heartbreakingly beautiful character, it hurts. I haven't gotten any further than that.

    I'm spoiled on the series finale which I think is crap and have no intention of watching the final season based on fan posts I've read. Aparently there are novels, so I'll look for those next.

    Trinity himself was fantastic, my main issue with season four was the domestic BS for the first half of the season. Rita had been so likable until she got pregnant, then she started to annoy me. But that whole romance was so rushed from the get go. *sigh* Would have rather her not be in the first season at all and then have several seasons for their relationship to develop, but Dexter has really weird pacing, IMO. Each season feels TOO self contained for an ongoing series. Life doesn't really work that way, so it irks me, but I keep watching because Dexter and Deb are awesome characters.

    Oh, and the completely random hook ups and office romances that season were rediculous. Deb, you in particular do not need to ether **** or fall in love with every man you exchange words with. I get the daddy issues, but seriously, calm the **** down.

    Five is such a breath of fresh air, how it returns to the serial killer cop drama dynamic instead of being some sort of weird Lifetime serial killer soap opera with Dexter spending more time fretting over family life while running around in pastel and khaki yuppy wear than actually doing what he does. I loved Lumine from five as well. Hope she turns up in a novel or something. And Deb only has one romantic drama that season. Miracles do happen. Seriously, though, I can not stress how much I loved Dexter's character development in five, especially Harry making fewer appearances and Dexter having his own pov about who he is at long last, a ray of hope.

    (Keeping it vague for anyone who wants to see it but hasn't yet)
